Style Notes

Illustration: Hand-drawn or digital-painting aesthetics — visible strokes, stylized shapes and colors, deliberately not photoreal.
Nature Landscape: Wide scenic composition with believable atmospherics — layered depth, weather and time-of-day cues doing most of the mood work.
Elegant: Graceful, refined mood — soft curves, muted palettes, unhurried composition; tells the model to avoid loud colors and clutter.
Wallpaper / Screensaver: Composed for a device screen: key elements kept clear of clock/icon zones, seamless edges, and colors that work at full-screen brightness.
Social Media Post: Composition and aspect ratio tuned for feeds (Instagram, X, Xiaohongshu): bold focal subject, room for overlay text, colors that survive small screens.
Blog Illustration: Editorial spot art: a clear concept metaphor, friendly palette, and enough negative space to sit beside an article headline.
